The whole sentence structure of Pei Ji's words was a bit complicated. Wang Jing was stunned for a moment after hearing it, and he was a little unable to react.
What... is called, "No reason to meet the previous pirates again"?
It sounds a bit confusing...
However, Pei Ji smiled slightly and did not explain directly, but said,
"Brother Wang, the previous pirate bandits were unusually strong. With such a big threat, ordinary merchant ships will definitely not be able to feed them. They can only find big targets to attack."
What Pei Ji meant was actually saying...
Ordinary pirates are very powerful and will attack frequently in search of valuable targets. However, if they are as strong as the pirates they encountered during the previous group annihilation, then the situation will be different. Instead, they will not move easily, just as they are powerful.
The generals will not fight the enemy at any time.
So when will such a general take action?
That's right, it means launching a thunderous blow at the enemy at a carefully planned location and at an ingenious time!
The same goes for pirates.
Generally speaking, pirates hijack ships to harvest more rice, but the more powerful pirates are, the more powerful they are. The cost of both personnel and armed strength is extremely high. Small fish and shrimps simply can't get enough to eat, so they must hunt large prey instead.
After Pei Ji said this, he continued,
"And we have split the large fleet into small fleets. If there are such powerful bandits on the South China Sea, how can a small fleet attract their interest?"
This time, Pei Ji asked back.
The eyes of Wang Jing and others who were initially confused suddenly shone with light and understanding!
Yes……
With Pei Ji's prompts, everyone suddenly figured it out.
It is impossible for such a powerful pirate to be interested in small-scale merchant ships!
So if you think about it this way...
Things turned out to be strange instead.
Since they were not the pirates before, then... how could they be wiped out this time? The fleet of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, even if it was broken into small fleets, would have extraordinary combat effectiveness. If the people who robbed these small fleets were all
Generally speaking, pirates must be very strong.
But……
Just like in the qualifying match, gold, silver, and bronze players account for the majority, and the fleet of Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is at least platinum level.
This time, the group was wiped out again. The pirates we encountered at least started at the Diamond level——
This shit is like a ghost!
There are so many small fleets, and so many diamond racers appear immediately as soon as they go to sea?
Is there such a thing as a coincidence?
How outrageous!
This probability is simply unreasonable!
It is also because of this that Wang Jing and others always feel that something is wrong!
Only then did I feel that an extremely strange aura shrouded the sky as if it were the entire city of Hangzhou!
However, while Wang Jing and others looked frightened and confused, Pei Ji was very calm, smiled and then said...
"Everyone, the account cannot be calculated like this. Since no big pirates are targeting us, is it possible that we are simply unlucky, so this time we encountered a small group of powerful pirates who were frequently active, and we happened to encounter
Are you on board?"
ah?
What Pei Ji said was simply outrageous. The first reaction of Wang Jing and others was just one word... Huh?
Isn't this a joke? Isn't this too coincidental?
The players in the platinum tier were playing and relaxing in the matchmaking, but they happened to be beaten by the players in the five diamond tiers.
Is this possible?
Of course, I can't say it's completely impossible, but the possibility is too small.
Wang Jing admittedly didn't know what the game rank was, but the truth was still very clear.
So, then... Wang Jing thought that Pei Ji was just comforting himself, so he expressed his doubts.
There are coincidences in the world, but this coincidence is really a bit too coincidental...
However, Pei Ji smiled and said, "Brother Wang, and all the worldly brothers... people have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. Things in this world are inherently good and bad, good luck comes from the sky, and misfortune comes...
...Thinking about it, Xiao Yu made a lot of money inexplicably before?"
Speaking of this, Pei Ji still felt a little itchy... He didn't know whether he was angry or sore, because according to the information he heard from his eyes and ears, Xiao Yu's food and clothing were now more luxurious than they were now a few months ago.
The flower hall, fine wine, and delicious food are even more upscale.
But this is not the point. Pei Ji quickly finished his opinion, which seemed to have some comforting elements. To put it bluntly, it was just a bit of chicken soup...
But when Wang Jing and others heard it, it seemed to make sense.
I avoided the big pirates before, but I encountered small groups of powerful pirates many times. Indeed...
It's unlikely.
But the possibility is low, which does not mean the possibility is zero.
There is still some possibility, right?
So if this possibility exists, why can't it happen?
Indeed, if it really happened, it means that luck is really on your side, but...
The background of the Five Surnames and Qi Wang is still very rich.
Although the large ships that went out to sea for trade were large, they were not the large ships that Wang Jing and others "joined" with Yeon Gaesumun before, and they were not small in size. However, the batch of ships built at that time were warships, and they were not as refined as warships.
The actual cost is much lower - this is the main reason why Wang Jing and others have made a lot of money recently and can laugh a lot every day.
Because the family's financial resources are large enough, these risks will eventually be evened out and become a "cost".
However, risk equals cost, and this equal sign is conditional. The condition is that the family is big and the business is big, and it can withstand problems if they arise.
If you are an ordinary small businessman, if you buy a boat and go to sea, it will be good to collect money if the trip is completed safely. However, if you encounter a wave of pirates and happen to come, it will be completely lost, and most likely even the owner of the boat will be gone.
After all, these small businessmen go out to do business and go bankrupt. They belong to the boat and the people...
But Wang Jing and the others are different. As long as the plunder they suffered is not particularly outrageous, and the continuous plundering leads to continuous loss of money, then...
In the long run, sea trade will still be hugely profitable for the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes!
In short, as long as you can deal with the temporary setbacks, huge profits over time will really be permanent huge profits, and you will be happy forever.
When Pei Ji explained like this, Wang Jing and others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
If you think about it carefully... sea trade is inherently risky.
But why do some merchants lose all their money and even lose their people, while Qiwang of the Five Surnames has endless energy to collect rice with tears in his eyes, and his hands are numb after receiving it?
It's simple, because small businessmen cannot bear the risks and losses, but Wu Xing Qi Wang can!
This is also the reason why the chaebols of later generations can survive. Because there are long-term mutual financing among the chaebol circles, they are naturally a huge invisible bank, so they are extremely stable.
